Biking to Nandi Hills

Last Sunday I did mountain biking on Nandi Hills

It has been a really nice ride – exploring the mother nature. Top 5 kms with 8 hairpin bends were really tough to pedal and really dangerous to stroll down. Two of our club members got dramatic escape while rolling down. I kept my own slow speed, pace and control on disk brakes – safe and sound I came down.

We followed the following schedule :
Got up at 4:00 am.. pedal to BTM udupi Garden. Loaded the 5 bikes on loading auto. Got down at Hebbal Flyover.

Point to meet with other 8 bikers – Hebbal flyover down opposite to Esteem Mall

The Time to start was at 6.00 so the report time was 5.45 or
early . But we started almost half an hour late. ( Iggy was there on time with a red Adidas’s jacket and a Team Merida TFS 100-V cycle)

The route that we took was :
1) Hebbal Flyover

2) Threw Yelahanka

3) Pass threw Devanhalli

4) Take the lane on the left towards Nandi Hills (its around 12 kms
stretch )

5) Then take a left on NH 48 to Nandi Hills
